LX9211

Diabetes Care, a peer-reviewed journal of the American Diabetes Association publishes the data from Lexicon’s RELIEF-DPN 1 phase 2 study of LX9211. Adaptor-Associated Kinase 1 (AAK1) is linked to clathrin-mediated endocytosis, and plays a critical role in neuropathic pain and various neurological disorders.
Lexicon’s LX9211 is a selective small molecule inhibitor of AAK1, that is developed as a novel non-opioid approach to neuropathic pain. LX9211 is designed to become an efficacious treatment for moderate-to-severe pain due to diabetic peripheral neuropathic pain (DPNP), which is difficult to manage with current approved medications.
LX9211 is in late-stage development, and the patient enrollment of Phase 2b study will be completed by 2024. Its top-line data is expected in Q2 2025. Lexicon received Fast Track Designation from the FDA for LX9211 in DPNP in 2020.
